Every fall before school starts we have three days of professional development meetings. Three SOLID days of professional development meetings.
This is the time when highly trained professionals become children. I apparently become that kid who talks to much and constantly gets out of their seat for “very important” reasons like finding a better pen or fishing out the charger to my laptop. I am also the kid who whines about when lunch is and talks to her friends when she should be focusing on Common Core Curriculum bingo or the finer points of data analysis as it pertains to reading scores. Or whatever it is that actual children learn.
New teachers are here and almost done with their classrooms. New students will be in for orientation tomorrow. The first big parent meeting is tonight. It is all rolling right along.
